Year purchased: 2018

About the host: We had a condo in North Myrtle Beach that we offered for rent on the ocean. We found the winters to be much cooler than we expected so we headed south. We have had 3 villas in the Plantation in Venice. We started with a smaller unit but equally beautiful views. We happened to meet a girl on our walk that was clearing her parents home out. We took the opportunity to purchase it and fix it up. However the home we have now became available and we couldn't pass up the views or being closer to our dear friends. So we moved to this house and remodeled it into our home.
We are sure you will love it as much as we do.

Why this property? Updated property with breathtaking views. Beautiful sunsets.
Fully equipped kitchen. Games, puzzles, DVD movies, beach chairs, umbrella, beach towels. Outdoor BBQ gas grill.

Perfect Paradise

This house rental is the best I have ever stayed in. Location in Venice could not be better for all of the wonders that Venice offers. My two month stay had all the comforts of home. Having lived in this area, there is nothing you could ask for that wasn't just a few minutes away, including several beautiful beaches. The home is equipped with everything you would need. Every room is comfortable. The view of the lake is breath taking to see every morning sunrises, then evening sunsets. I plan to return this year. Don and Terry are such nice owners to work with. You won't go wrong with this rental for so many reasons!!

Awesome Villa

This villa is even better than the pictures. We have stayed three times and have already scheduled two more stays for later this year. Everything anyone could ever need is right at your fingertips from beach chairs, to K cups for coffee. We love this home away from home.

Relaxing Vacation

We stayed in this spacious villa in July. The large living room had an inviting view of the lake. Everything we needed was here and we especially liked having the grill available. It is located in a very friendly neighborhood with a nearby pool. It is a short drive to the beaches and to downtown Venice making this a great location for a relaxing vacation.

Venice, Fl home away from home

Don & Terry were wonderful to work with. They were very responsive when we had questions. The house sat on a lake and we enjoyed the neighborhood alligator sighting most everyday. The neighborhood was friendly and the pool was conveniently located from the house.Look forward to renting from them in the near future.

Perfect Summer Stay

Two words describe our 5 week stay - absolute perfection!! This amazing villa was everything we could have wanted - perfect location, spacious, fully stocked with tons of amenities, gorgeous view and beautifully decorated. We loved being able to walk to the pool and the neighbors are so welcoming and hospitable (we participated in a few of the weekly potlucks). Don and Terry were a delight to work with and super responsive. We would have stayed for a year if they would have allowed us! Don’t hesitate for a second when considering whether to rent this gem!! Do it! You will not be disappointed!!

Great house and a very friendly neighborhood

Great house with lots of space and a beautiful updated kitchen that is fully stocked with anything you would need for cooking. It is a quiet community but very friendly neighbors. Great community pool and within a 15 to 25 minute drive to multiple beaches. The owners are great any questions you have Terry was quick to respond. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit Venice.
